Annual Programme

Through our annual programme we aim to meet the needs of artists in the region and keep up to date with priorities and policy development in public realm working.

We offer support and direct commissions for artists around professional development, collaboration and self-reflection. We also work with other regional projects and organisations to ensure we can give artists a view of what is going on in the region and signpost them to new opportunities.

Longhouse offers 5 action research commissions every year with applications normally being received in April.

Our Professional Artist Development (PAD) programme takes place on a real site of regeneration and is normally open for applications in June.

However, we welcome news, events and requests from artists all year round and will do what we can to help, we also run forums and seminars and welcome input for themes and issues to explore in these events.

Please contact karlgreenwood@multistory.org.uk  If you have an ideas or requests to put to the Longhouse team.

All our opportunities and commissions will be advertised through the Longhouse website on our homepage.

Longhouse advocates for the involvement of artists in all aspects of the public realm. It offers artists a chance to collaborate, spaces to work from and contexts to explore working in. Longhouse is interested in the creative outcomes that arise by fusing artists, communities and environments together.

Longhouse is funded by Arts Council England, West Midlands and is located in West Bromwich.
